Computer and MC autostart?

Postby ACMilan » 26 Mar 2014

Hi
Does anyone know how to get the computer to start on it's own at a specific time and then have MC start also on it's own?

Thanks!!

(...) and then have MC start also on it's own?
Windows task scheduler with the task to start at logon (or startup), perhaps set to 1 or 2 minutes later.

In addition to what JoshM is suggestion, you can use Robotask.

http://www.robotask.com

Robotask can also start programs automatically. Some applications I use, like IB TWS, require manual input to start. For example you have to fill in your password and accountnumber. With Robotask you can automate this and set scripts to login.

Will take some effort to get it to work (you have to figure out how the (predefined) scripting works. But after that it works great.

Have no experience with it myself, but some potentially helpful links:
